There is no more BEST program. It is going to be replaced by
something based on mentoring - another acronym that I can't remember
right now. There will be no portfolio or observation component as
there used to be 15+ years ago; it will be centered around some kind
of mentoring modules that the beginning teacher will have 2 years to
complete. I assume that individual district's teacher evaluation
plans for observations, etc. will be in place as well. HOWEVER, all
this is based on the legislature actually passing a state budget at
some point. Until that happens, nothing.
